5 Best Foods To Buy in Bulk at Costco This Spring

Spring is just around the corner, which means warmer weather and more outdoor entertaining. If you’ll be having more guests around — or just want to stock up for your own family — now is a good time to head to Costco to stock up on food items for the new season.

GOBankingRates spoke to shopping experts to get their picks for the best foods to buy in bulk at Costco this spring.

“There was a time when this item was supposed to be discontinued and Costcos were going to focus on carrying national brands, like Jif and Skippy, but members begged for them to bring it back,” said Julie Ramhold, senior staff writer and spokesperson with DealNews.com. “It’s made with only dry roasted organic peanuts and sea salt. If you’re looking for natural options without additives, this is such an easy way to go and the peanut butter truly tastes fantastic.”
